--- Comment #3 from Kai Uwe Broulik <k...@privat.broulik.de> ---
Can you check your setting in System Settings → Applications → Default
Applications → Web Browser? Is "open in application based on the contents"
checked? If so, see if the problem persists if you explicitly choose a web
browser.
What KIO does is when you click a link it first tries to figure out what
content there is and then open it in the appropriate application, e.g. image
viewer for a JPEG. Not sure why it downloads a website first, though.
In any case, given it significantly slows down opening links and the fact that
web browsers can open virtually any file these days, maybe we should revisit
the default for that option to just open http(s) links in the browser no matter
what.
